Tortilla Soup

Few people are aware that the famous soup that is so characteristic of Mexico is made with maize tortillas, a meal that is popular around the world. Pieces of fried corn tortillas are combined with tomato soup that has been spiced with onion, garlic, parsley, and pepper to make the tortilla soup.

In central Mexico, tortilla soup is extremely well-liked. Its roots combine those of the pre-Columbian inhabitants of the area with those of the Spaniards who colonized it. Due to the plentiful supply of corn in the area, the locals had been making tortillas since 10,000 BC, but it was the Europeans who introduced the soup culture to North America.

Tortilla soup is a tomato (or chicken)-based soup with Mexican influences. It frequently includes extras like cilantro and jalapenos in addition to basics like maize and beans. After simmering, it is topped with crispy tortilla pieces and any additional ingredients you choose. The most popular ingredient in tortilla soup is chicken, although it can also be cooked with lamb, beef, and seafood. The flavor of the soup is greatly enhanced by cooking the protein.
